It accepts parameters, but only when the user is without dot:

savit: "|/usr/sbin/smdeliver savit" (is OK)
savit.test: "|/usr/sbin/smdeliver savit.test" (is not OK)

The wrong address is strangely interpreted by router. Router seems to
treat the dotted address with command and parameter as alias this way:

vrfy savit.test
250-newsgroup: not found
250-[: unknown operand '"|/usr/sbin/smdeliver'
250-[: syntax error at: savit.test"
250 error delivery to norealname for <savit.test>

router divided alias for two parts interpreted separately:

alias is : "|/usr/sbin/deliver savit.test"

router thinks that alias is : "|/usr/sbin/deliver
second part is : savit.test"

What to do then ?

Savit
